Unified Communications Development for Non-Professional Developers

Microsoft Unified Communications is unleashing the power of software to communications. But what are the use cases that any company can deploy to its benefits without being a full-time developer? This session walks through a set of easy-to-use applications anyone can build on the developer platform of Microsoft Exchange and Office Communications Server with basic programming skills. How to use the new PowerShell capabilities to manage your Exchange users; how to use Exchange for managing a customer database; how to build a conference room scheduling application in the Exchange Web Services Managed API; how to write a smart notifications application in the Windows Workflow that works with SharePoint and uses the right communications mode of email, IM, or the telephone depending on the presence of the user that needs to be alerted; and how build a basic help desk portal application using speech recognition.
